Chapter 1

The day was May 2, -- and Alexandra Lee Morgan was in a fantastically good mood. Her father after many years had finally given in to it didn't just happen on any old day, it happened on the day of her eighteenth birthday.

Her friends were just as ecstatic. They love Alex's home and couldn't wait for the sleepover.

So when the day had come they were over exactly on time. They played around for quite a while and gossiped about what was happening at school and about Graduation when Alex, the eldest, would leave them, but soon the conversation dwindle out and they were left with nothing to do.

" So what are we going to do now?" Krystal asked. Out of everyone she was so grateful for Alex's party. Her parents were fighting when she had left and since it wasn't one of Alex's usual parties, she wouldn't have to see them until tomorrow mourning. Giving her at least a days relief from the storm cloud at home.

"We could tell stories," Mary suggested. She was as always, up for a good story. She just didn't want to be the one telling it.

"Well then what type?" asked Cloey she popped a butterscotch candy into her mouth. She never left home w/out a least a bag of them.

"How about Peter Pan?" Sarah suggested. The other girls turned to look at her.

"That is so Childish!" exclaimed Cloey, "What are you in kindergarten?"

"Oh come on Cloey don't be so mean to her," Mary said," besides I don't care how old you get, the tale of Peter Pan is still a great story. How about you tell it Alex. Your the best at in and know the story better then anyone else. Considering it supposedly happened in your house."

"Really?" exclaimed Sarah looking at the room with new wonder. "Well at least that's what Miss. Jane says," replied Alex referring to the women who lived with her and her family. She had allowed them to live with them because her father was the son of her husbands oldest friends. Her husband was dead now, but they had still kept closes connections with each other until Alex's grandfathers death, when Alex and her family moved in with the old lady. Alex had been only three when that had happened. Since all of Jane's children had gone Miss. Jane had passed the stories unto Alex, who now passed them on to her friends. Which is how she became friends with them to begin with.

"So are you going to tell it or not?" said Cloey.

"Okay, Okay. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Well as all stories begin, Once upon a time there was a you girl named Wendy Mariah Darling…" and Alex began the tale of Peter Pan and his involvement with the Darling family.

" I wish things like that could really happen," said Sarah when Alex had finished. "Yeah so we could meet some real live pirates," said Cloey.

"I though you were to old for Peter Pan," said Alex giggling. "To old for Peter maybe, but not for Captain James Hook."

"really," said Alex grinning, " well me lass I am the Captain James Hook of who you speak of." She stood and swaggered(not walked) her way over to Cloey. "How do you do my lady," she took Cloey's hand and bent down and pretended to kiss her hand.

"Very well my d..d..dear hahaha," Cloey burst in to giggles before she could finish.

" and your name fair lady?"

" UGLY CLOELLA!" Sarah yelled. "SARAH!" shouted Cloey angrily throwing a pillow at her twin sister.

"Cloey don't get so worked up," laughed Alex dropping her hook act. "Come on lets get into our p.j.'s Its already nine and my dad's gonna be in to check on us soon.

They had just finished putting on their p.j.'s when there was a knock at the door. "Come in daddy!' shouted Alex.

"How did you know it was me?..oh never mind. How are you girls doing?.

"okay dad," said Alex. "Fine Mr. Morgan," said the others.

"Good," Mr. Morgan said," Alexandra your mother will be bringing up snacks soon and then we are going out."

"Out?"

"Yes it seems I forgot tonight was my bosses party. Miss. Jane is already asleep and Miss. Milder has come over to watch you all so be on your best behavior", he then turned and left.

Minutes later Alex's mom came up with snacks and wished them all goodnight before she herself disappeared.

"This is great!" said Alex after she left. "Why?" asked Sarah.

"It means her father won't be checking up on us all night," replied Krystal.

"Why is your father so protective of you," Mary asked through a cookie she was munching on. "I don't really know he's always been like that. Miss. Jane says it cause he's afraid of me growing up."

"But I would have though he would have wanted you to grow up. He's always making you take those edicate classes.

"I knew I would tell you okay," she said testily.

"Alright, aright don't bite my head off…you know your mom makes the best cookies," she said quickly changing the subject.

When snacks were finished and they had talked themselves out they went to sleep, not knowing what would soon come to pass.
